Hi Fluteland Members,
I'd like to share a COMPLETE list of all Yamaha Flute model numbers with you.
I'm actually a trumpet player by trade and got bored one day so I decided to compile a complete list of all of the Yamaha trumpet models as it seemed that it hadn't been done before (or recently). Yamaha seemed to list most models, but they were spread across all of their various international websites and not all located in one location. It also quickly became apparent that different sections of the various international Yamaha organisations had different ideas about when certain models were introduced and discontinued. In addition to that there were some models that Yamaha didn't officially list although they certainly existed, not to mention rare limited edition models only ever offered in Japan. After completing the Trumpet model list I have since gone on and completed a list for Trombones, French Horns and now Flutes.
You will see in the list that I try to include at least 2 official Yamaha verification sources for each model, as well as a catalog reference. At the bottom of the list are links to the various Flute related catalogs I have as reference so far. As time permits I will be filling in all of the specific model specifications and details. I never thought I'd know so much about inline or offset keywork, B or C footjoints, C# trill keys, soldered or drawn toneholes etc...
For the other instruments I have cataloged so far I have also created a database of Yamaha serial numbers. Yamaha seems to be a bit tight lipped about their serial numbers in general. You can email them at the US Band and Orchestral Division for a date of manufacture for a particular serial but before about 1982 not much is known to them. (They are actually now following these lists and updating their own model/discontinued model lists and links). If there is enough interest I will set up a Serial Database for the Yamaha Flute serial numbers also. I'm an instrument nerd so am more than happy to do it just for fun or interest sake, just ask me to.
If this list has any errors, typing mistakes, omissions or a new model is released feel free to contact me and I will endeavor to add or correct those details. Just please be kind, as I am a trumpet player after all. Serial

I'm also very appreciative of pdf scans of any Yamaha related marketing material, brochures, catalogs, advertising and even instrument owners manuals. I'm building a back catalog to use as reference for ALL yamaha wind/brass/orchestral instruments, and any I have I am happy to share. I REALLY like hard paper copies of these items but in this day and age I'm more than happy with pdf scans. I can be emailed at:

Vito is a brand name of Leblanc which was started in 1951.

History[edit]

Vito is a brand name for Leblanc USA, now part of Conn-Selmer USA.The Vito name was used for student instruments. Leblanc USA was formed in 1946 by Vito Pascucci,and the French woodwind manufacturer, G. Leblanc Cie of France. To meet high demand, Leblanc USAstarted to manufacture clarinets in the US from plastic bodies and French keys. Eventually all of the partswere made in the US. These student clarinets were named 'Vito'.


There were also Vito saxes and flutes. Some saxes may have been assembled in the USA, but they were basically of foreign manufacturer. This author has no information concerning where the flutes were manufactured.

Addendum: Many, if not all, Vito flutes were 'stencil' instruments manufactured in Japan by Yamaha. They were roughly the equivalent of a Yamaha YFL-200 series student instrument.
